It might look cute on pumpkins, but you probably never envisioned a permanent Jack O’Lantern smile for yourself. Missing a front tooth can make you hesitant to smile or even talk.
At Golden Dental Solutions in Golden, CO, our compassionate dental professionals are here to help if you’re missing a front tooth and seeking a lasting solution.
Our skilled specialists—eight-time winners of the Top Dentist Award by 5280 Magazine—focus on preventive and restorative dentistry, like dental implants, to restore smiles to their full beauty and function. Here’s how we can do that for you.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants consist of a small titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone. This post is a replacement root for your missing tooth, providing a solid foundation for a natural-looking crown. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone, giving you a permanent solution that is as stable as your natural teeth.
Why Consider Dental Implants for Missing Teeth?
Losing a front tooth can affect your appearance and self-confidence. It can also be hard to enunciate clearly or eat without getting food stuck in the gap.
Here’s why implants are a great option for missing front teeth:
- Natural Appearance: A dental implant sits side-by-side with your natural teeth, looking so natural that nobody can tell it’s there.
- Durability: Made from strong, biocompatible materials, dental implants can last many years with proper care.Â
- Preserve Bone Health: Implants help stimulate the jawbone. This helps stop bone loss and preserves your facial structure.Â
- Comfortable Fit: Dental implants are secure and won’t shift. Once you get used to it, your dental implant will feel as comfy as your natural teeth.
All in all, dental implants are a reliable solution that’s the next best thing to your own teeth. With just one missing tooth, a single dental implant can be the perfect solution to restoring your smile. But, for patients with no natural teeth, we also offer All-on-4®, a dental implant/denture hybrid that fits, feels, and looks like natural teeth.
